Hi all,
This won't be to everyone's taste, but this guy appeared this morning on my Facebook. I think his playing is pretty cool. Some here might enjoy it.

It's impressive playing but I can't help but feel electric bass guitar is not the best instrument for the piece of music. Similar to tapping, once you stop looking at it and just listen, the oul bass isn't too easy on the ears for some styles of solo playing.

I enjoy it. It's like classical guitar, but I prefer the lower register.

I get mystified when solo bassists play things like this entirely beyond the 12th fret. No lower than a guitar but with a constricted range and tonal palette, and heavy articulation too.

Love this a lot, might even learn it. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely playing. Well articulated and very fluent.

Fair point, but he owns a bass and knows how to play it. I admire it and I guess, if I could be arsed to buy a classical 6 string, it might sound different. It might sound better, but that it subjective.
